Let me get this straight...
The usual suspects are upset at the new James Bond game because women challenge him, give him orders, train him, and occasionally save him?
In an origin story?
007 First Light is about a young Bond who has not earned his 00 status yet. Of course he screws up. Of course he needs training. Of course people at MI6 are going to tell him what to do.
And yes, some of them are women.
Did everyone forget Judi Dench’s M called Pierce Brosnan’s Bond a “sexist, misogynist dinosaur” and a “relic of the Cold War” in GoldenEye?
That was over 30 years ago.
Women challenging Bond is not some modern betrayal of the franchise.
What these guys seem to want is a Bond who starts the game already perfect, never gets corrected, never needs help, and only interacts with women who exist to make him look cool.
That sounds boring as hell.
A young, arrogant Bond being forced to earn his status is a far better story.

So to be clear, the BBC and ITV are censoring a political advert because the Reform politicians being *quoted* are too offensive to be broadcast, and therefore their words must be hidden from the public?
This is just the BBC helping out Farage again isn't it?

Right wing nut jobs are hilarious. Claim to care about women who have been sexually assaulted yet just constantly harbour nonces and rapists among themselves.
Sorry - I thought the media had spent the last 18 months telling us how this generation were freezing to death in their homes due to losing the WFA and were choosing between heating and eating

Do any of these MAGA losers actually care about the victims here - children subject to sexual abuse by the rich and powerful? Because it seems like all they're concerned with is making fake images of Mamdani and his family
Steven Crowder took out $70,000 in PPP loans during Covid and didn’t repay any of it, even though he was already a millionaire
Put another way, he was happy to pocket the equivalent of 33 years (!!) worth of SNAP benefits from the government
But he draws the line at hungry kids
